How it works
Think of magnesium as a key regulator for your body's electrical and structural systems. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your skeleton to keep it strong. Additionally, it promotes neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after activity [NIH ODS].
